Stars 4/5
Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
I went into this book not knowing anything about what the story was about in fact I thought it was a thriller. I must say it was very haunting in a body image sort of way. The book follows best friends Lia and Cassie, both have eating disorders. They make a contest on who can get the skinniest. Needless to say, the outcome is never good. I will not go into this story as not to spoil it but I will mention triggers for cutting, starvation and substance abuse. This is not usually the type of book I would read but I am glad I did. It was a good story and I would recommend it to others.
